In class we watch a very famous film called Gone with the Wind. This movie so I heard is a classic romance mixed with tragedy, adventure and mystery. So the main characters are Scarlett O’Hara played by Vivien Leign and Rhett Butler played by Clark Gable. Butler is in love with Scarlett but Scarlett is too naive to realize that she too is in love with Butler. She thinks that she is in love with Ashley Wilkes but he doesn't love her he loves Scarlett's sister instead. The famous line "Frankly my dear, I don't give a dame." Is said by Butler at his last goodbye to Scarlett. We discussed that that line had to be said over and over till they were satisfied. The movie was also sued for using the work "dame" as a curse word. Overall this movie was a bit success and now is one of most classic romance movie of all time.
2. Find a related article and summarize the content.

The success of Gone with the Wind raised the profile of independent producers in Hollywood. By the time the film came out, there were 20 independent production companies working through the major Hollywood studios, paving the way for a future in which the independents would eventually come to dominate American film production. Gone with the Wind was the longest, most expensive and successful Hollywood film made up to that point in time. According to the article, it inspired the studios to create bigger and more impressive screen epics that would produce some of Hollywood's biggest hits but also make the industry risk financially.
3) Apply the article to the film screened in class
The
article made good points about the film. There was a lot of issues in the making the film that didn't know about. It mentioned that it was one of
the longest film made in that time, but because of that it became a big hit.
Gone with the Wind the novel is so much different from the film. After reading
the article I understand that the making of the film was not easy but with
their hard work and terrific actors and actress the film became a classic un
forgettable story. I realize that it is not easy making a film that has so much
into it and also that is taking place in World War ll. Back in the days it was
difficult to make films when so much was going on during that time already. I
have a deeper understanding of what it took to make this film now.
4) Write a critical analysis of the film
Gone
with the Wind I believe was a fantastic movie. I thought the film was very
long, however, I enjoyed the movie very much. I thought that some clips in the
movie could of been shorter, but overall I thought they did a great job. I didn't
like how Butler left Scarlett crying at the door I wish they ended up together.
I also I didn't like how their daughter died that was very sad. Besides
of the sad parts in the film, I enjoyed Gone with the Wind very much. I look
forward into watching the film in the future.
